One former member of this genus, the species seelyi, was later reclassified in the genus Dollodon, while another former member, the species atherfieldensis, is now recognized as a creature named for this creature's discoverer. Its current neotype, the species bernissartensis, got its name from the coal mines in Bernissart, Belgium, that contained many complete specimens of it. The Te Papa museum in New Zealand is home to the first discovered fossil of this creature, a clearly herbivorous tooth recovered from a limestone quarry in Sussex. David Norman discovered that the ossified tendons in its tail made the quadrupedal and tripodal positions assigned to it by Richard Owen physically impossible, while its most notable physical feature, a large (*) thumb spike, was originally placed on its nose by its discoverer, Gideon Mantell. It was the second dinosaur to be formally named, after Megalosaurus. For 10 points, identify this dinosaur named for the resemblance of its teeth to those of a certain lizard.
